A local newspaper Is travelling
agent, making its weekly round to the
families of all its patrons. No matter
whether times are good or dull; DO
matter whether trade is brisk or other
wise, no business man can afford to
take down his sign, nor withdraw the
pleasing influences of weekly chat
with his patrons through the newspa-
per. For business man to stop ad
vertlsing, would be equivalent to his
saying, II have stopped business and
ask no more favors of the people. -

That rheumatism and neuralgia are 70
PREVALENT This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but II Is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful bat among the most common, and
some member OF nearly every family in the
land Is the victim Of one Of these dread
tormentos. Ladies' seem TO be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, In the
form OF neuralgia headache, pain In the
back, or nervous pains are Of constant oc-
cnrrence. Not until the discovery Of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
ce,lcd to be incurable. but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only certain
cure for these diseases, In all their varied
forms, but n SAFE remedy. If in the use
Of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain, and to aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found to be valuable
aid to the action of the medicine. Athlo-
phoros Is no experiment, il has been tested
aud has proved its wonde rful efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared rs a remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing dis eases. They have
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from yitiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation, loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles. For
diseases of women they are invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
be safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials of thUsv who have been
cured will be sent free on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist, the Athlo-
phoros Co., 112 Wall St., New York. will
send either Carriage paid) on receipt of
regular .price, which is $l.00 per bottle

The Southern Situation.

Senator Sherman's southern trip is
still an interesting topic. His speech
es were everywhere well received and
his opinions of the political situation
and material growth and prospects OF
the south are eagerly sought by the
cal enemies give Senator Sherman
credit for being honest and candid in
his utterances and actions. One of
the most interesting interviews we
have yet seen published, giving his
views of the south, we find in that able
democratic paper, the Cincinnati En-
quirer. We deem the following por-
ton of it especially significant and
would like to see it republished in ev-
cry paper in the country. After say
ing that he was splcndidly treated in
the south he made to the Enquirer the
following statement:
II believe there is great future in
store for the south provided the south
ern people behave themselves. In or
der to prosper they must inaugurate a
free vote and fair count. The negro
vote of the south which is solidly re-
publican, is either not counted at all,
or. If counted, is credited to the DEM
ocratic party. This is especially true
in those counties in which tile blacks
predominant. The whites in those
counties admit this to be fact, but
say that it is necessary to the preserva.
ton of civilization that this be done.
1t is positive truth, and you may
state SO in the Enquirer and give me as
authority. that throughout the south
the white voters are rapidly joining the
republican party, especially or the tar.
ii issue. The colored people of the
south are making wonderful progress
in education and intelligence. They
have still great deal of the old pref.
udice to overcome, though. While
was in Birmingham "a committee OF col
ored citizens, consisting of two preach.
ers, two lawyers and n real estate
agent, called to pay their respects, and
the manager Of the hotel, man nam
ed Cowan, refused to allow them &C
+. cess to my room and wouldn't notify
me of their presence. This prejudice
does not exist among the better ele
ment of the southern whites, however,
] am glad to say. Governor Aiken
was conversing with me when color
ed delegation called to pay me their re
spects. The governor shook hands
with the delegation and received them
most cordially. tind in my travels
through the south that it's only the
lower class of whites who are intoler
ant of the negro"
This Is a plain, brief statement Of
facts as they exist to-day in the south
They are facts not merely alleged, but
actually admitted to exist by many
able southern papers and people. =
They suggest good deal to the public
mind. The logic of the situation leads
Enthusiastically to the conclusion that q
fair and free ballot and an honest
count must be had, that every citizen,
white or black, must be secure in Sis
political rights in the south, as he II ir
the north, before the south can fairly
enter upon an era of permanent pros
perlty. Detroit tribune.

The Decorative Craze.

Published by request of lady OF San
Marcos. Ed.
Put away the little coal hod that our darling
wants to paint
For she fain would decorate II with devices
queer and quaint;
Hide the dust-pan and the washtub and like
wise the garden hose,
Or Matilda will adorn them with the lily
and the rose.
When our Bridget in the morning gets the
wooden chopping bowl
To concoct the morning corned beef hash,
il vexes Of her soul
To behold wreath of pansies, where she
most must cut and slash,
So she scrapes 1t of, because the paint
might penetrate the hash.
On the household rolling pin is tied pretty
yellow bow,
And its lilies of the valley oft commingle
with the dough;
While the new potato masher, ana the
kitchen pans and pots
Are magnificent with butterflies and sweet
forget-me-nots.
All our articles of furniture, the ancient and
the new,
Are resplendent quite with drapery and
bows of brightest hue; i.
In the house we look about with mingled
sorrow and amaze.
For Matilda is affected with the decorative

Austiu...Kyle.

We went on Monday TO Austin, the first
time in several months. We found the city
tearfully dull. The half dozen or so Of
recent failures Of prominent business houses
emphasize tho depressing influence of the
hard times.
The frame work of the new capitol dome
is complete, and II makes fine appearance.
There is great conflict of opinion as to the
proper filing in material, having reference
to the safety of the structure.
On our return we stopped over at Kyle.
The town did not appear particularly brisk.
The principal topic was the removal of the
Blanco indicator, Mrs. Mcpherson
prophecies, to Kyle. The paper has al
ways been special champion of Kyle and
deserves well Of her people. We certainly
wish the good lady success. but must freely
confess that we don't see how two papers
can live in Kyle. A consolidation of the
Star with the Times would seem to be the
most plausible solution of the problem.
Calling at tho academy boarding house to
see friend, one of the teachers, We accept
ed an invitation to be present at the open
ing services of the institution, where We
were pleased to make the acquaintance Of
Prof. James, the principal, and Prof. Nc
Gee, teacher of the commercial depart
ment. A chapter of the Bible was read and
prayer offered by young man, one Of the
pupils. Over 100 pupils responded to roll
call. and presented a very interesting scene.
We were pleased to learn of the prosperity
of this well-conducted school.
While at Kyle we had the pleasure Of

COrOnal Notes.
BY Glad"

Professors Spillman and Thomas have
returned from conference.
Prof. r. o. Rounsadall. president of the
Waco Female Seminary, formerly president
of Coronal Institute, made the hill brief
call this week, so brief that only few
caught glimpse of him; disappointing
many of his old pupils.
Last year the wife of our President made
an earnest effort to improve the appearance
of the college yard, interested number of
the pupils in the much needed improve
ment, and with their assistance effected a
radical change AT present one might mis-
take it for a "free grass range" judging
from the number of cattle grazing undis-
turbed within its boundaries. 1t may be
fun for the COWS, but it is inconvenient for
the boys, for to-day two of those same en-
terprising animals came up to the boys
hydrant and not finding any water, spite
fully chewed up their dipper. Please re-
member, one and ALL to close the gates in
passing through.
The art room, always attractive, is
adorned this week with very artistically
painted pisno cover, the work of Miss Cara
Franklin. A screen painted by Miss Mary
Aorn is strikingly pretty.
Is Father Time shortening the hours, or
the old college bell grown frisky in its old
age, that we hear it ringing so often out of
time ?
The Senior class is interested in new
study, Civil Government, by Young, Look
ing through the book, we find much useful
and necessary information, in an attractive
and condensed form, and only wonder it
has been SO long omitted from the curricu-
lum of G. l., and after consideration, are
persuaded that it Is equally as essential for
girls as boys, for it is to the school boy Of
to-day that the Nation will look for her
statesmen and officers of the future; truest
stimulus is found in the cooperation and
appreciation Of women, and if they would
help us we'll, they must help us understand
ingly.
The owner of the pair of iron gray and
grizzled blue" eyes, is becoming tired, eyes
weary, of the searching scrutiny bestowed
upon him by some of his inquisitive friends,
and we feel assured we voice his sentiments
in requesting them to please to don't"
In the absence of the usual Friday night
party, the boys went out serenading; but
serenading like the old darkey's home
''ain't what it used to be-" Faded flowers
touched with dew may be considered re-
freshing by some, but it is not the school
boys idea of refreshment.

and Mr.. Frank Kilgore are on the visiting
list, among the students having been re-
spectively to New Braunfels, Kyle and
